Very stupid comment. Nice local chocolates and local canned food. I use my imagination to know what supermatrkets in far away cities of big countries may be like if I visit such a city. TH-cam makes the imagination redundant. It's aproblem. People online originally from NATO member countries like FunkyDoo become jealous that a country is so big with far flung cities. They make nasty comments. They should blame the Romanov dynasty for making Russia so big, not her, or Stalin. People like FunkyDoo if sent to live in an American base in a NATO country will become jealous and making stupid online comments.
Thank you for sharing living life in the far east Russia ! As a one of Japanese, I really glad to know that there are so many Japanese products there :) relations between Japanese and Russian government is bad these days, but I hope the exchange of private sector will be more active. P.S. さけチャーハン(sake Chāhan) means salmon fried rice. We use that product(さけチャーハンの素、sake chāhan no moto) for time-saving recipe（時短料理、Jitan ryōri）.
I really enjoyed your tour of a supermarket in Eastern Russia. The Korean influenced foods must be fun to explore! You certainly do have the ability to take us all on some adventures!
It's so funny how professional this is but how she constantly drops stuff. Please keep the imperfections in, I'm absolutely cracking up over here. Besides that, it's incredibly interesting to see what you can buy in Khabarovsk. Also love how you add cultural details, like the Choco Cakes being a part of your childhood and how kids would bring them to school and stuff. Keep up the great work!
This is exactly the kind of thing I like to see to round out my understanding of what every day life is like in the Far East of Russia. It is good to know that nobody is so isolated they are starving or anything, even though I have no illusions that life is a bit harder out there. Being myself born and raised in the Pacific Islands I do have an idea what it is like to live on the far end of a logistical supply chain and watched my poor and primitive people only slowly catch up with the 20th Century and come above a bare subsistence living (I know it is the 21st Century but we tend to lag behind a good century at a time). It's surprising to me to see so many English names and so much Latin alphabet. I wouldn't be completely lost in your supermarket since I am also very familiar with many Asian brands and products. All in all this was a wonderful walk through the Market.
Thank you for sharing all of this!! It’s fascinating. The first time I found that exact brand of Choco Pies was in Brazil. I used to buy them as an occasional treat for my son’s lunch/snack at school which isn’t very common. But it was VERY expensive in Brazil and I only could find them at Asian markets. Like US$12 for a package of 8 if I remember correctly. In the US it would likely be $3.00 or less, you can probably find them (or something similar) at a $1.25 store.
I was surprised to learn that this herring is called матье (maatjes). In Dutch we use this word for raw herring too. It is fresh, raw herring served as a whole fish with some onions or pickles and by Dutch tradition we eat this herring by holding it by the tail.
In Sweden, matjessill(sill=harring) is a national dish. It is spiced with sugar, cinnamon, allspice and cloves and you eat it with potatoes, sour cream, chives and of course schnapps. For some, schnapps is a national dish and matjessill is a side dish.
I buy pickled herring in America (not that popular with general public but always in stores due to popularity with people of certain European immigrant ancestries - East European and I'm guessing Nordic) Anyway, if I see majtes on a label it's a specific flavor of slightly spicy herring that most places don't stock (sounds like what the Swedish commenter above said.)
Bird's Milk or, originally, Ptasie Mleczko, was first developed and registered in Poland by a chocolate and candy maker Wedel in 1936. In Russia production of a very similar candy under such name started in Vladivostok in 1967.
"Bird's milk" we have it very popular in Poland since decades and it's called just like that "Ptasie mleczko" (Bird's milk) :D In early 00s "Alpine milk" from Milka (Mondelez) showed on the store shelves so it's very interesting from where it come from because it is very good and popular type of sweeties. We also had (well I had it) tea parties in school when there was Christmas eve party or when your friends invite you for their birthday party and we also had similar type of cakes like those you show but they are made with fruity, jam filling. They are the best! :D Then when McDonalds showed up classmates often invited for their birthday parties to McDonalds... Asahi it's available in Poland but not very popular. Great videos, Have a good year! Best wishes from Poland :)
Bird's Milk, in soviet union, appeared somewhere in 1960's, 1970's, That's as far as i know. The wiki says the og creator was a factory founder Jan Wedel at E.Wedel's factory in 1930's (In Poland).
In Serbia, bird's milk (ptičje mleko) is expression when the offer of something is extremly rich. For example, if the supermarket is highly supplied, we say "they even have a bird's milk".
@@totti2770 Well that saying in Serbia it's similar to the story behind the name of polish chocolates "Ptasie mleczko" because Jan Wedel (creator of it) was wondering how to call it and asked "what can bring happiness to the man that has everything?" and someone answered "maybe milk for birds". So I think there is a connection. So cool to know that, thanks.
There's a big Russian/Eastern European supermarket one neighborhood over from mine here in NYC. I go there now and then for the beer selection, mainly. They have many brands from Russia and the Czech Republic that you can't find in other stores. Also, the pickle selection is pretty nice.
Enjoyed the grocery store tour! We have something equivalent to your "Choco Pies" in North Carolina, USA. Here they are called "Moon Pies". In olden days when the young people worked on the farms here, their noontime meal would be bought at the local mom and pop country store. They would say, "Going to get an RC and a Moon Pie", RC being the cola made here in North Carolina. That sugar boost would help get them through the afternoon until supper. Just thought you'd like to know.
Well, here in korea we know that Choco Pie is a really famous korean snack and are sold all over the world, but not many people know that Choco Pie originated from Moon Pies :D
Nice, I was going to say the same thing. Just north of RDU here, good to see another N. Carolinian checking this stuff out. We got a stash of moon pies on top of the fridge to this day...
I stayed because of the South Korean dried seaweed; I'm glad I did! I was pleasantly surprised from all the information I could get from this video, especially the puzzling "Korean carrot" as I have only tried such a salad in Russian/CIS restaurants 😅 It was so interesting to learn the history on a somewhat nostalgic way! I would love to see more Supermarket videos!
@@tatianapronskaya6831 It is such an interesting piece of history! I can't help but to wonder what the people have been through when they first created it. The Korean carrot for example, there is something similar in Korea but it is made mainly with a sort of radish. So it leads me to questions like "How popular was the radish version of it in the region where they were from? Were there no radishes or any equivalents besides carrots in the region they moved to? What else was mainly farmed in the area?" etc.!
Hah, Chupa Chups were like the standard lollipop when I lived in the UK! I looked it up and apparently it's a spanish company - who knew. Thanks for the insight. Also - my Norwegian heart when I saw $1 beer!!!
I love your videos! You have a talent for making just about anything interesting. ;) I’d love to see more of the products up & down each aisle, including what the produce section (fruits/vegetables) had available.
In Poland we also have ptichye moloko, it's called "ptasie mleczko", it means exactly the same. Many polish companies produce it, many grandmas and grandpas like it.
Nice video! Always interresting to see grocery stores in other parts of the world! Btw; The Nissin Cup Noodles we also have in DK - Price is ~$2 / cup (also the expensive brand here).
Dear Natasha : thank you : found video most interesting - those wonderful fish products!! : "Bird's Milk" is used also in Greece for super-special foods : best wishes :)
The chocopie reminds me of “Little Debbie” snacks we have here in the U.S. They look yummy! When I lived in Australia for 6 months back in 2000, I remember how they had different foods, some of which I still miss (like Tim Tams). Thank you for the tour around your grocery store, it was very interesting!
Awesome information...I have been to supermarkets in Western Europe, Hong Kong and really the difference is the decoration and food selection...I would love to visit Russia ...great and honest people .love the ramen noodles ...btw I love Russian beer 🍺
Наташа, я американский переводчик, который жил в Японии, и я также выучил русский язык. Ты дала некоторую неверную информацию в своем видео, и я думаю, ты удивишься, когда узнаешь. Lotte - не корейская компания, а японская, очень популярная в Японии. Я не удивлен, что тебе это нравится, потому что это очень известный бренд в Японии благодаря хорошему качеству и превосходному вкусу их конфет. Когда я жил в Японии, я тоже любил есть Choco Pie от Lotte, а также Milkis, как и ты. Кстати, я думаю, что ты очень красивая, и я люблю смотреть твой канал. Мне нравится слушать твой голос и твой акцент, потому что у тебя очень мягкая и приятная манера говорить.
Notes: - ASMR on the sushi seaweed tearing. 🤣 - Also I love how she's in the far east of Russia and she says, "My relatives travel to 'Asia' all the time." Haha...You're in Asia! - Also...Wow...so interesting the Russian word for "iodine" so similar to the Chinese Mandarin pronunciation. Common language roots! - Also, wow -- SO MUCH CHOCCIT! - Also, thank you for creating a genre -- I want to start sharing childhood memories in video blog format from my hometown regions too! 💪✊
I love the shokolad with sea salt crystals here in the States but have never heard of Scallop or Seaweed versions. That caught me completely by surprise!. I have tried the paper-thin seaweed treats here but seemed a bit too salty for me. Thank you for the tour of the grocery store. The super inexpensive cup-of-noodles was a staple during my college days. Nowadays, they run about 35 cents USD or three cups for one dollar on sale.
Hello Natasha, Trust this note finds all well with you👱🏻♀. Yes Ma'am, very interesting indeed. It is curious how similar the products in America are to yours there. We have the same flavor chocolates, and your "Choco Pies" there are called "Moon Pies" here. Perhaps maybe a slightly different ingredients list, however, they appear identical. Your presence on camera is so pleasant, may I say Natasha. So glad your videos have crossed my path. I will be watching more. My location is in Columbia, South Carolina, USA, just FYI👍🏻. Please Take Care Natasha, and God Bless🙏🏻🕊🦋🦋, Richard😉
Wow i am actually shocked to see your situation. Maybe because the wages are different. I am from Israel. I can say that here in my country for example a can of soda or a bottle of water is between 2 to 3 dollars which is really expensive. We in Israel have difficulties because the prices of the products here in Israel are like 2 dollars and up. If i found something in Israel that would cost me 50 cents or a dollar this would be a miracle lol. But I guess that perhaps your situation in russia is different than ours that’s maybe why we see things differently.
We have entire Lotte stores in the United States. They're in areas where there is a high density of Korean people. They have lots of different foods compared to American grocery stores and I used to love shopping there when I lived near one.
I'm glad you talked about the price of snacks & soft drinks, it turns out that the prices in Russia are not much different from those in Indonesia, only the candies I see are very expensive. and I was surprised when you said agar-agar at 12:35 minutes, in Indonesian agar is let, agar-agar is jelly.
In England we have 'crab sticks' like those but they renamed them seafood sticks as like yours they don't contain crab they just have a crab flavour :)
привет из европейской части россии 👋 "крабовые" палочки и морковь по-корейски у нас тоже популярные штуки, а вот шоколад с солью и морской капустой вижу впервые. надеюсь когда-нибудь слетать на дальний восток и попробовать
Thankyou for this, in the future however perhaps more just the staples ? It's hard for me to relate to regional favourites, things like milk, bread, butter, flour, meat etc.... I am more able to relate and compare local pricing with.
I never knew about Khabarovsk and how it is so much better than Vladivostok until you showed me. I owe you one. I was curious cause apparently there were anime conventions there so I thought Vladivostok was very modern.
In big organisations, there are certain rules (company policy and regulation). Maybe this is something you haven't come across before but it's a normal procedure in some establishments. I think the guy is just doing his job.
I dont know why but I've always had a fascination with grocery stores in other parts of the world. I just find it interesting to find what brands have what kind of reach in the world.
I remember being in a store in the former Yugoslavia back in 1972, the only thing on the shelves was tinned rabbit meat from China, and pretty dreadful it was too.
Man, i love her confidence in the beginning and the joke with gulag was good. The presenation of all the different products was very interesting, i love the little background information about each product. I recognized the same products from Germany.
Not going to lie, I am surprised the quiet and polite person we know on this channel basically told the grocery store manager to "fuck off, we are filming."
Thank you! Some years ago it was scary, but practice makes perfect and after many videos I became so used to it! I still feel nervous while filming but it’s rather because I’m trying not to make grammar mistakes.
I like how you always leave those little bloopers in your videos of things you didn't expect to happen. It gives it a "real" feel and has become your style. It always manages to make me smile 😄
I always enjoy the humor and style that you bring to your videos. And learning about life in Russia has been very interesting with you as my guide. Thank you Natasha!
I've just noticed how practical you are. Your lack of bells and whistles, no nonsense approach to presenting your content is a breath of fresh air. And you're brave and still very funny.
@Musselchee What does mean "lack of bells and whistles"? I am still learning English so I have difficulties understanding that one! (Sorry for my bad English).
@@brentschmgbert3578 "Bells and whistles" is an idiom that means extra features or add-ons meant to attract people. In this case, the lack of "bells and whistles" means that while this TH-camr's videos has no special features (production quality isn't particularly high, scripting isn't particularly good, etc. - the kinds of things that many TH-camrs use to make their videos flashier and more attractive), the content is interesting, and the simple presentation of the TH-camr has a charm in its own way. That's why the top comment talking about how "practical" and "no nonsense" the presenter is.
In Poland we actually also have chocolates called "ptasie mleczko" (bird's milk) and it is like the go to chocolate to gift as a present and I would argue that it is the most classical Polish dessert.
i 100% agree. When my polish family visits me in germany they always bringa box of ptasie mleczko and Michalki as a present. if anyone has the opurtunity to taste those candys you should absolutly try them, because they are very delicious.
The amount of Korean and Japanese products and brands I could spot in the background, and some of your favorite foods growing up, actually surprised me. Seeing Binggrae, Lotte and Milki from Korea and Nissin, Asahi and Calpis from Japan on the shelves actually made me a little homesick (I'm half Japanese, half Korean born in America). I used to love Choco Pie as a kid, too! But I don't like Calpis, or Milki, as much after a bad experience with it in Japan. I visited "Santa Village" and was given Calpis served hot. Ew. Apparently it's common to serve Calpis atsukan during the winter months in northern Japan. Loved your tour of the supermarket.. Thank you.
Watching this from the European part of Russia, I'm really impressed, that you do not have Magnit, Lenta and so on... Imitated caviar rules 😃👍 I love it, reminds me of my childhood. We have Korean carrot here, but no such chips. Chocolate with seaweed?! 😃😃😃 Wow, I'd like to try it! The company producing the candies Primorskie should invite you to their advertising 😉 By the way, I've been working in marketing for a long time and I've become used to argueing with all these people who do not know the laws... It is allowed to film in supermarkets, everywhere, without any permissions!
In Australia things are changing, you used to be able to film whatever you like but since Covid and the government becoming very authoritarian/shady, they dont like people filming what they are getting up too. Example could be shooting tear gas at people having a completely legal peaceful protest
I've been watching your videos off and on for a while. As an American, I really appreciate your videos. They are really interesting and make Russia look like a really awesome place. Political leaders never represent everyone in their county. The people in our countries don't really hate each other or want war. You're a really good person and I hope everything will get back to peace and normal for everyone soon.
@@dodotikkhenk3378 not really. It doesn't matter what colour you are. Racism is equally common among black and Chinese people as it is among whites. You should see the way Chinese tourists treat the Vietnamese when on holiday in Vietnam, it's a disgrace.
Great video as always. About iodine: Our body keeps the iodine in storage in our thyroid glands. When uranium is decaying it produces a radioactive version of iodine (~an unstable isotope of iodine). In case of a nuclear accident this radioactive iodine gets into the air/water/food. Your thyroid glands cannot make difference between the radioactive and the non radioactive version of iodine so there is a chance it puts into the storage the radioactive iodine, effectively keeping the radioactive material in your gland. The only way to prevent that is to flush your body with stable, non-radioactive iodine which fills up your iodine storage so there is no chance for the radioactive iodine to become part of your body, so it is just running through. That's why it is important to eat as much "clean" iodine as much fills up your storage in case of an nuclear accident - but do not overdose.
@@michaelwesterland1853 - Sounds like you're projecting. Nobody will listen to YOU! But people will listen to others that are smart enough to know what they're talking about.
When that man said you could not video in the store and you stood up to him and said that you did have the right to video I thought "Yeah Eli, don't let them push you around." In fact as you were promoting that supermarket I think you should have asked for a payment from the supermarket for that promotion. Also, I loved the way you handed over the box of chocolates to the customer who must have thought you were demonstrating the goods. LOL. You're a winner.
In Poland we also have a confection called "ptasie mleczko", which translates to "bird's milk". It was invented by Edward Wedel, who's company exists to this day. I wonder how similar these things are to the Russian ones.
Another GREAT Video! Your subscribers love you because you present like you are talking to us as friends visiting you. Far better style than just a "tour guide" standard. We get to see your true creativity and personality. I remember from a previous video by you that many Russians just don’t smile much. No one smiled but you in this whole video! Can’t wait for the next release.
@@daviddb4858 If you smile at everyone in Russia, you will be considered either a foreigner or an idiot. Russians don't smile for no reason because we don't carry guns. Your habit to smile dates back to the 19th century when you could get shot if you were considered unfriendly, so you got used to smiling to avoid being shot.
@@daviddb4858 I read that in Jack London, but I don't remember which story or novella. He had to live in that time. I'm Russian, but I think it was a great time.
The store reminds me of Costco in the US. Also, Choco pies are very similar to Moon Pies in the US. Although Moon pies here alsome come in banana and vanilla
the only thing similar to Costco are the pallet racks other than that NOTHING at all like Costco. I dont think you have ever been in one. Nor have the 18 people who liked your comment
Just a few more cans and isle's to go. You will completely re-arrange the shelves. As a teen one of my first jobs was working in a Supermarket. I didn't have to worry about stocking just bagging groceries. Back then(50+ years ago) bag persons helped customers take their groceries out to their automobiles and they would tip us. I would make about $320 on Saturday and Sunday's.
You must be just a little older than me. I worked at supermarkets as a bagboy when I was a teenager about 35 years ago and we would bag groceries and help people out to their cars but were not supposed to take tips. Every once in a while I would take one if the customer insisted. I would have loved to make an additional $300 any day of the week.
The military commissaries here in the US still have baggers that take your groceries to your car. They work off of tips. I always had to remember to bring cash when I shopped there. 😄
I, too, started as a bagger. The wage was $.50/hour. Apparently, it was not a great neighborhood as I received only one tip in a year. (Maybe my fault ;-(
Thats crazy, the US gov makes SURE that i cant make that much money that fast. fifty years later when that same money is worth no where near what it was 50 years ago. Qnd people wonder why young people have zero hope for the future
The senior front-end grocery clerk in the store I worked in years ago paid cash for a 1974 AMC Javelin with just the tips he made. He still has the car.
6:30 Nissin is the Japanese company that actually invented instant noodles in 1958. So Cup o’ Noodles is the original instant noodles. Everyone else copied after them. Maruchan (another Japanese company) also has a very strong following. It’s cool that they’re available in Russian Far East too. Looks like Nissin has gone global in a big way. 11:00 chocolate with scallops and chocolate with seaweed… 🤔 I’d try it.
We have cup noodle brand in New Zealand but it’s in the international aisle of the supermarket. There’s only a couple flavours though and none of them look good so I haven’t been able to try it.
quite .. I like seeing the various similar products as well ... like the chocolate and biscuit with a marshmallow center ... pretty much seen all over the world .... or cups of noodle soup in all the usual flavours ... even the carbonated milk as unique as it is seems interesting ...
Being close to the Pacific Ocean, I've been curious about product offerings in the Russian Far East. In particular, how it compares to Moscow or St. Petersburg. This store looks huge and well stocked. I also noticed a huge availability of South Korean products, which is no surprise. I would imagine in say Moscow, there would be much fewer SK products in the stores. One of my challenges living abroad is after getting used to brands commonly available in one country and then having to adjust to a complete new set of offerings. Thanks for giving me the insights, this was a very interesting video.
Interesting, I live in New Zealand and I have a mate (friend) from Russia, Moscow who described what their supermarkets are like and how they differ to ours. I've always been interested in the far east, you guys live pretty close to places like Japan. So its interesting to see what you folks have access to.
12:52 "Guys, I know it is hard to stand on your feet when you see me." Even the box of candies lose their composure when they see you. I love it when you said this. - Still making me smile!

Well, here in korea we know that Choco Pie is a really famous korean snack and are sold all over the world, but not many people know that Choco Pie originated from Moon Pies :D
Nice, I was going to say the same thing. Just north of RDU here, good to see another N. Carolinian checking this stuff out. We got a stash of moon pies on top of the fridge to this day...
The moon pie/r.c. Combination is a classic next door in Tennessee too! We have a moonpie and rc festival every year haha
Blessings and thank you for the education. Hugs 🎈
I have never been more excited to click on a video, only to discover that it's scheduled to be released in 10 f**** HOURS
Not my first time though :/ but yeah... first world problem :(
I stayed because of the South Korean dried seaweed; I'm glad I did! I was pleasantly surprised from all the information I could get from this video, especially the puzzling "Korean carrot" as I have only tried such a salad in Russian/CIS restaurants 😅 It was so interesting to learn the history on a somewhat nostalgic way! I would love to see more Supermarket videos!
Korean salads were invented by Koreans living in Russia the same as Indian food in Britain
My wife and I love kimchi and all Korean food.
@@tatianapronskaya6831 It is such an interesting piece of history! I can't help but to wonder what the people have been through when they first created it. The Korean carrot for example, there is something similar in Korea but it is made mainly with a sort of radish. So it leads me to questions like "How popular was the radish version of it in the region where they were from? Were there no radishes or any equivalents besides carrots in the region they moved to? What else was mainly farmed in the area?" etc.!
@@kenjifox4264 They are the best! What other dishes do you like in Korean cuisines?
@@권현승-j3u Russo-Korean fusion food is a thing in the Far East. Sakhalin has these things called “pyanse” which were invented by the Koryo-saram.
Very interesting to see the Korean and Japanese influence. I think I would enjoy exploring this supermarket!
Hah, Chupa Chups were like the standard lollipop when I lived in the UK! I looked it up and apparently it's a spanish company - who knew. Thanks for the insight.
Also - my Norwegian heart when I saw $1 beer!!!
Chupa actually means suck in Spanish. Don’t ask me how I know that.
Same in Germany, you could find Chupa Chups lollipops everywhere (at least I remember in the 90's/00's when I was young)
I have fond memories visiting supermarkets when overseas, even in Chinatown supermarkets in Australia you find many interesting things.
I love your videos! You have a talent for making just about anything interesting. ;)
I’d love to see more of the products up & down each aisle, including what the produce section (fruits/vegetables) had available.
Oh my goodness Milkis!! I haven't seen that in years! LOL!
My dad served and lived in Kamchatka. Caviar and crab legs were extremely cheap there during the Soviet times.
In Poland we also have ptichye moloko, it's called "ptasie mleczko", it means exactly the same. Many polish companies produce it, many grandmas and grandpas like it.
Interesting how all the Polish comments are posted in.. ENGLISH.
@@christopherfritz3840 I don't see anything interesting about it.
Rather logical, being in Vladivostok and having a ton of Japanese foods. Keep up the videos, I like so far.
Agree, and also South Korean foods too.
4:13 I love crab sticks too! I'm from Australia and we deep fry them
Nice video! Always interresting to see grocery stores in other parts of the world! Btw; The Nissin Cup Noodles we also have in DK - Price is ~$2 / cup (also the expensive brand here).
Those choco pies are popular in southern United States. We call them moon pies. Thank you. Appreciate your video.
It's nice to see real life videos, not the over edited videos only showing certain things. The bloopers make it better.
Dear Natasha : thank you : found video most interesting - those wonderful fish products!! : "Bird's Milk" is used also in Greece for super-special foods : best wishes :)
Choco pie looks like the American equivalent of the “moon pie”
Looks like an Australian "Wagon Wheel".
The chocopie reminds me of “Little Debbie” snacks we have here in the U.S. They look yummy! When I lived in Australia for 6 months back in 2000, I remember how they had different foods, some of which I still miss (like Tim Tams). Thank you for the tour around your grocery store, it was very interesting!
I love you Natasha. Hope you are doing well and you make another video soon!
Awesome information...I have been to supermarkets in Western Europe, Hong Kong and really the difference is the decoration and food selection...I would love to visit Russia ...great and honest people .love the ramen noodles ...btw I love Russian beer 🍺
I really liked it, here in Brazil we have some of the candies that were showed in the end c:
Наташа, я американский переводчик, который жил в Японии, и я также выучил русский язык. Ты дала некоторую неверную информацию в своем видео, и я думаю, ты удивишься, когда узнаешь. Lotte - не корейская компания, а японская, очень популярная в Японии.
Я не удивлен, что тебе это нравится, потому что это очень известный бренд в Японии благодаря хорошему качеству и превосходному вкусу их конфет.
Когда я жил в Японии, я тоже любил есть Choco Pie от Lotte, а также Milkis, как и ты.
Кстати, я думаю, что ты очень красивая, и я люблю смотреть твой канал. Мне нравится слушать твой голос и твой акцент, потому что у тебя очень мягкая и приятная манера говорить.

I like you and your wit. That security guard was on a power trip.
I love the shokolad with sea salt crystals here in the States but have never heard of Scallop or Seaweed versions. That caught me completely by surprise!. I have tried the paper-thin seaweed treats here but seemed a bit too salty for me. Thank you for the tour of the grocery store. The super inexpensive cup-of-noodles was a staple during my college days. Nowadays, they run about 35 cents USD or three cups for one dollar on sale.
4:24 That's called 'surimi'. It was originally made in Japan. You can find it easily in all supermarkets here in Europe.
Beautiful!
Hello Natasha,
Trust this note finds all well with you👱🏻♀.
Yes Ma'am, very interesting indeed. It is curious how similar the products in America are to yours there. We have the same flavor chocolates, and your "Choco Pies" there are called "Moon Pies" here. Perhaps maybe a slightly different ingredients list, however, they appear identical.
Your presence on camera is so pleasant, may I say Natasha. So glad your videos have crossed my path. I will be watching more. My location is in Columbia, South Carolina, USA, just FYI👍🏻.
Please Take Care Natasha, and God Bless🙏🏻🕊🦋🦋,
Richard😉
Wow i am actually shocked to see your situation. Maybe because the wages are different. I am from Israel. I can say that here in my country for example a can of soda or a bottle of water is between 2 to 3 dollars which is really expensive. We in Israel have difficulties because the prices of the products here in Israel are like 2 dollars and up. If i found something in Israel that would cost me 50 cents or a dollar this would be a miracle lol. But I guess that perhaps your situation in russia is different than ours that’s maybe why we see things differently.
You have more stuff on your shelves than we do in Australia 🇦🇺 right now...🤣
you better should talk about the street racers and drifters in far east of russia, some of them are very popular worldwide and have mad skills :D
Good video, would have been interesting to see the prices for fresh produce and meats and such. Funny how many products you chose had seaweed in them.
Love the channel and information.
I love seaweed and sushi, I also like drinking coconut water.
We have entire Lotte stores in the United States. They're in areas where there is a high density of Korean people. They have lots of different foods compared to American grocery stores and I used to love shopping there when I lived near one.
Binggre (South Korean snack company) has a large factory complex in Novosibirsk.
I'm glad you talked about the price of snacks & soft drinks, it turns out that the prices in Russia are not much different from those in Indonesia, only the candies I see are very expensive.
and I was surprised when you said agar-agar at 12:35 minutes, in Indonesian agar is let, agar-agar is jelly.
I'm impressed, well done
Awesome video. As a broke college kid, i survived of Ramen noodles! Cup of noodles was my lunch so i didn't have to bring a bowl with me.
those prices seem really cheap compared to here in Minnesota. fun looking food, too.
In England we have 'crab sticks' like those but they renamed them seafood sticks as like yours they don't contain crab they just have a crab flavour :)
Cool!
Hahaha, lol, loved every bit of the vid
Such a great video! Loved that you showed how much it would cost in the US. Also such an awesome sweater, is there anyway I can get one?
привет из европейской части россии 👋 "крабовые" палочки и морковь по-корейски у нас тоже популярные штуки, а вот шоколад с солью и морской капустой вижу впервые. надеюсь когда-нибудь слетать на дальний восток и попробовать
Это ху е та редкостная, уверяю вас.
The dried seaweed is called Nori in japanese. Very good with salted rice.
We have Nissin brand Cup-O-Noodles in the US too. :)
Nissin and Maruchan compete.
Thankyou for this, in the future however perhaps more just the staples ? It's hard for me to relate to regional favourites, things like milk, bread, butter, flour, meat etc.... I am more able to relate and compare local pricing with.
I never knew about Khabarovsk and how it is so much better than Vladivostok until you showed me. I owe you one. I was curious cause apparently there were anime conventions there so I thought Vladivostok was very modern.
In big organisations, there are certain rules (company policy and regulation). Maybe this is something you haven't come across before but it's a normal procedure in some establishments. I think the guy is just doing his job.
that pronunciation of maruchan was cute but spot on
In the US we have the Choco Pie but it is called a Moon Pie.
I dont know why but I've always had a fascination with grocery stores in other parts of the world. I just find it interesting to find what brands have what kind of reach in the world.
I remember being in a store in the former Yugoslavia back in 1972, the only thing on the shelves was tinned rabbit meat from China, and pretty dreadful it was too.
Usually, the second place I go to after I arrive in a (new) country and for the same reason as you! First place I go is my accommodation.
Glad to know im not the only one :)
Also hardware stores.
Same, I find it so interesting. Plus I feel it's a good language lesson
Man, i love her confidence in the beginning and the joke with gulag was good. The presenation of all the different products was very interesting, i love the little background information about each product. I recognized the same products from Germany.
yes me too ^^ also from germany :) but it is a very nice video
is it confidence or impoliteness...
Im glad there are some Gulags left over

@@umba2231 that depends if the guard was correct about rules
Not going to lie, I am surprised the quiet and polite person we know on this channel basically told the grocery store manager to "fuck off, we are filming."
I was impressed! With that attitude no wonder her channel is successful.
It's Law!!!Publics place!!!
I admire you for filming in public so confidently. Just watching this my anxiety skyrocketed :D

Thank you! Some years ago it was scary, but practice makes perfect and after many videos I became so used to it! I still feel nervous while filming but it’s rather because I’m trying not to make grammar mistakes.

I've just noticed how practical you are. Your lack of bells and whistles, no nonsense approach to presenting your content is a breath of fresh air. And you're brave and still very funny.
Me thimks You are spot on with this one!👍
Very funny ? Russians are not funny
@Musselchee What does mean "lack of bells and whistles"? I am still learning English so I have difficulties understanding that one! (Sorry for my bad English).
@@brentschmgbert3578 "Bells and whistles" is an idiom that means extra features or add-ons meant to attract people. In this case, the lack of "bells and whistles" means that while this TH-camr's videos has no special features (production quality isn't particularly high, scripting isn't particularly good, etc. - the kinds of things that many TH-camrs use to make their videos flashier and more attractive), the content is interesting, and the simple presentation of the TH-camr has a charm in its own way. That's why the top comment talking about how "practical" and "no nonsense" the presenter is.
@@eddiemoir2572 joke makes you
In Poland we actually also have chocolates called "ptasie mleczko" (bird's milk) and it is like the go to chocolate to gift as a present and I would argue that it is the most classical Polish dessert.
i 100% agree. When my polish family visits me in germany they always bringa box of ptasie mleczko and Michalki as a present. if anyone has the opurtunity to taste those candys you should absolutly try them, because they are very delicious.
I was gonna write the exact same thing. I think grandparents like it.
The amount of Korean and Japanese products and brands I could spot in the background, and some of your favorite foods growing up, actually surprised me. Seeing Binggrae, Lotte and Milki from Korea and Nissin, Asahi and Calpis from Japan on the shelves actually made me a little homesick (I'm half Japanese, half Korean born in America).
I used to love Choco Pie as a kid, too! But I don't like Calpis, or Milki, as much after a bad experience with it in Japan. I visited "Santa Village" and was given Calpis served hot. Ew. Apparently it's common to serve Calpis atsukan during the winter months in northern Japan.
Loved your tour of the supermarket.. Thank you.
not to add that america makes everything so different :/ im mexican american and they fucked bimbo up :( gansitos taste like toxic waaste now :/

Lol agreed, but she'd be even hotter and probably more energetic and less clumsy if she put a little weight on.
Watching this from the European part of Russia, I'm really impressed, that you do not have Magnit, Lenta and so on...
Imitated caviar rules 😃👍 I love it, reminds me of my childhood.
We have Korean carrot here, but no such chips.
Chocolate with seaweed?! 😃😃😃 Wow, I'd like to try it!
The company producing the candies Primorskie should invite you to their advertising 😉
By the way, I've been working in marketing for a long time and I've become used to argueing with all these people who do not know the laws... It is allowed to film in supermarkets, everywhere, without any permissions!
In my country, you can’t, unless you have a special permission , which is normal! But you can still do it secretly 🤫🤭😉
I keep hearing that the metro is off limits...
@@plumitive4105 of course it can be different in other countries, but the Russian laws let you film and take photos in any shop 😊
In Australia things are changing, you used to be able to film whatever you like but since Covid and the government becoming very authoritarian/shady, they dont like people filming what they are getting up too. Example could be shooting tear gas at people having a completely legal peaceful protest
@@RussianMermaid not in shops only, in any public place
I've been watching your videos off and on for a while. As an American, I really appreciate your videos. They are really interesting and make Russia look like a really awesome place. Political leaders never represent everyone in their county. The people in our countries don't really hate each other or want war. You're a really good person and I hope everything will get back to peace and normal for everyone soon.
It's not that political leaders never represent everyone, it's that they rarely represent anyone except themselves.
but you wont think the same way to chinese or anybody who doesnt white right?
Ditto!!
@@dodotikkhenk3378 not really. It doesn't matter what colour you are. Racism is equally common among black and Chinese people as it is among whites. You should see the way Chinese tourists treat the Vietnamese when on holiday in Vietnam, it's a disgrace.

Great video as always.
About iodine:
Our body keeps the iodine in storage in our thyroid glands. When uranium is decaying it produces a radioactive version of iodine (~an unstable isotope of iodine). In case of a nuclear accident this radioactive iodine gets into the air/water/food. Your thyroid glands cannot make difference between the radioactive and the non radioactive version of iodine so there is a chance it puts into the storage the radioactive iodine, effectively keeping the radioactive material in your gland.
The only way to prevent that is to flush your body with stable, non-radioactive iodine which fills up your iodine storage so there is no chance for the radioactive iodine to become part of your body, so it is just running through. That's why it is important to eat as much "clean" iodine as much fills up your storage in case of an nuclear accident - but do not overdose.
Mr. Tucatnev, your comment is very silly. No one will listen to you for information about science.
@@michaelwesterland1853 How come the Mr.? And of course they will some will, that's enough.
@@michaelwesterland1853 That's how it works, you dunce... 🤦♂️

@@michaelwesterland1853 - Sounds like you're projecting. Nobody will listen to YOU! But people will listen to others that are smart enough to know what they're talking about.
Tune in and watch Natasha knock things off the shelves in a grocery store. That was awesome ❤️💚☘️
I just knew them green cans didn't stand a chance! LOL
maybe it's the asahi.
When that man said you could not video in the store and you stood up to him and said that you did have the right to video I thought "Yeah Eli, don't let them push you around."
In fact as you were promoting that supermarket I think you should have asked for a payment from the supermarket for that promotion.
Also, I loved the way you handed over the box of chocolates to the customer who must have thought you were demonstrating the goods. LOL. You're a winner.
Supermarket is privat property so you have to follow the rules of the place. Some dont mind upu to film others do mind.
Yeah, maybe the customer thought she was getting a free box!
Eli?
Her name is Natasha, not Eli. You must confuse with Eli from Russia.
They don’t want filming because they think people filming are working for their competitors getting prices of everything…
I never thought I'd see scallop flavoured chocolate. I would like to try it. Here in Canada many things are maple flavoured. 🇨🇦🙂 Great video 👍
And venison slurpees! ;)
I think she should do a taste test for us!
In Poland we also have a confection called "ptasie mleczko", which translates to "bird's milk". It was invented by Edward Wedel, who's company exists to this day. I wonder how similar these things are to the Russian ones.
you stole another thing from us, exactly like you stole vodka. after ukraine we go for you. hehe. just joking
I live in the North West of England and there are Eastern European shops in my city, not specifically Russians, so I buy Polish 'ptasie mleczko'.

I just love her humor, it’s so deadpan funny. The iodine/TH-cam joke. 😂
The store reminds me of Costco in the US. Also, Choco pies are very similar to Moon Pies in the US. Although Moon pies here alsome come in banana and vanilla

Just a few more cans and isle's to go. You will completely re-arrange the shelves. As a teen one of my first jobs was working in a Supermarket. I didn't have to worry about stocking just bagging groceries. Back then(50+ years ago) bag persons helped customers take their groceries out to their automobiles and they would tip us. I would make about $320 on Saturday and Sunday's.
You must be just a little older than me. I worked at supermarkets as a bagboy when I was a teenager about 35 years ago and we would bag groceries and help people out to their cars but were not supposed to take tips. Every once in a while I would take one if the customer insisted. I would have loved to make an additional $300 any day of the week.
The military commissaries here in the US still have baggers that take your groceries to your car. They work off of tips. I always had to remember to bring cash when I shopped there. 😄
I, too, started as a bagger. The wage was $.50/hour. Apparently, it was not a great neighborhood as I received only one tip in a year. (Maybe my fault ;-(
Thats crazy, the US gov makes SURE that i cant make that much money that fast. fifty years later when that same money is worth no where near what it was 50 years ago. Qnd people wonder why young people have zero hope for the future
The senior front-end grocery clerk in the store I worked in years ago paid cash for a 1974 AMC Javelin with just the tips he made.
He still has the car.
6:30 Nissin is the Japanese company that actually invented instant noodles in 1958. So Cup o’ Noodles is the original instant noodles. Everyone else copied after them. Maruchan (another Japanese company) also has a very strong following.
It’s cool that they’re available in Russian Far East too. Looks like Nissin has gone global in a big way.
11:00 chocolate with scallops and chocolate with seaweed… 🤔 I’d try it.
Nissin definietly went global. We have in Hungary also its noodles. They are so good ( especially " chili soba" noodle)
@@eliv128 very cool. It’s Ike Japanese noodles are now a world food.
We have cup noodle brand in New Zealand but it’s in the international aisle of the supermarket. There’s only a couple flavours though and none of them look good so I haven’t been able to try it.
We have Nissin here in Brazil too. Is easy to find it in any market over the country.
@@violaobrasileiro I love churrasco
It was fun shopping with you, Natasha! Love the personal stories and memories. Great sense of humor, too. I think you’ve found your calling.
Surprised to see so many products made with seaweed even chocolate. Interesting to see what grocery stores in other parts of the world sell.
quite .. I like seeing the various similar products as well ... like the chocolate and biscuit with a marshmallow center ... pretty much seen all over the world .... or cups of noodle soup in all the usual flavours ... even the carbonated milk as unique as it is seems interesting ...
I was laughing pretty good when you kept knocking things over and dropping stuff. I've done that a million times in the food stores. Bakobaka!
I pick things up that have been knocked onto the floor by other customers. It makes me feel very smug.
Being close to the Pacific Ocean, I've been curious about product offerings in the Russian Far East. In particular, how it compares to Moscow or St. Petersburg. This store looks huge and well stocked. I also noticed a huge availability of South Korean products, which is no surprise. I would imagine in say Moscow, there would be much fewer SK products in the stores.
One of my challenges living abroad is after getting used to brands commonly available in one country and then having to adjust to a complete new set of offerings.
Thanks for giving me the insights, this was a very interesting video.
are you from la?
All this stuff makes it to German supermarkets. I really liked the Russian Kimchi, Surimi and the Russian-made Lotte Pie!
Interesting, I live in New Zealand and I have a mate (friend) from Russia, Moscow who described what their supermarkets are like and how they differ to ours. I've always been interested in the far east, you guys live pretty close to places like Japan. So its interesting to see what you folks have access to.
We get Asahi here in the US, actually. Usually found in sushi restaurants.
And in pretty much every grocery store I know of, too.
